The dishes! Oh, the dishes!

As usual, as I'm getting ready to do the dishes, I find the kitchen resembling Hiroshima after a particularly wild night out with his mates!

Why does it have to be so difficult to stack all the cutlery properly?

You put plates at the bottom, then dishes, then desert bowls! All of the knives, forks and similar implements should at all times be placed to the side of the plates! At no point whatsoever should they be played inbetween plates and/or dishes!

This isn't hard to do, it doesn't take alot of brain power; just arrange the dishes in such a way as to make it easier to wash, rinse and place them on the rack.

Much can be made of the choice of whether to have the dishes or the plates at the bottom, but no argument could ever be made in favour of mixing them! Just put them in some semblance of order!

When I worked at an electronics warehouse, I often had to go fetch items from different parts of the facility. If I needed to pick up something from section 5, section 62 and section 64, I wouldn't just go to section 62, then hop to section 5 and then go all the way back to 62.

Why, I'm sure you'll ask, is it that I can be so picky about this when my room looks like it was just run through by a monster truck. The answer is simple; that's the way I keep my room; I very seldom, if ever, cleam it completely, because I prefer to have it that way, and there is nothing forcing me to clean it.

The dishes, however, need to be washed constantly, that is something that I cannot get away from, and believe me, I would if I could. Therefore, I take pride in doing it well, efficiently and in a well structured and logical manner, just as I would any job that I did on a regular basis.

So just stack the damn dishes properly!
